Geisha Girl with Fan

I painted a picture of a geisha girl for my daughter Melanie’s birthday, which she loved.

We decided maybe you would like it too. So, I have created a digi-stamp of her which I then ‘painted’ with the wonderful new range of Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic Drawing Inks. They are so much more than drawing inks. I love them because they are always ready, dry quickly and are so versatile.

Think of this image as painting by numbers but without the numbers! You can lose the lines as I have or keep them as your guide.

For a soft dreamy effect paint wet into wet, for harder lines just wait a few moments to continue. Mixing colours on your craft sheet is fun or you can paint directly onto your card. The little brushes are so delicate that they do not rough the surface. It was huge fun and very satisfying to do a little painting. The beautiful colours that I chose to use are listed below. A little tip, although the inks will not spill if knocked over try to remember to pull the brush out away from your picture or you may get ‘splatter pattern’.

About Me

Hi,
Crimson Cloud is made up of me, Mel and my Mum Linda. Our goal is to be able to share our, and your, ideas, designs, and a few technique tips.
Our styles of carding and crafting are equally different so hopefully you will find something to inspire you. It is also an opportunity to share our favourite products that we love and have enjoyed using in our own card making and projects.
If you also have favourites and ‘secrets’ to share or just feed back, it would be great to hear from you.
Till then, enjoy!
Melanie
